Thoughts on a silencer for 308 - 01/30/12 01:55 PM

I am looking for a silencer for my LR 308 with the muzzle break it rocks your world when fired.. I need one for a 300 Blackout also.. Who has the best deal and the best one for these 2 calibers?

SilencedAmerica, Scott has the best customer service on earth but also has the best prices around.

Just ordered 2 more from him about a month ago. Actually Scott answers his phone nearly every time you call. Great guy to deal with and does EXACTLY what he says he will do.

To make them more quiet, reduce recoil, and help stabilize the bullet for increased accuracy.

Why is so it takes the pigs a little longer to figure out what is going on. Get more lead on targets vs a big boom and they scatter

I have a gemtech HVT. I use it on a 6.8 ar15. It works great. I recently built a DPMS LR308 and I can wait to use it on that.

Another reason. I know a guy that suppressed his 308. He loads 150 gr RN bullets at sub-sonic speed. He sets up 100 yards or so from a feeder at night. The gun is so quiet, he says he can often pick every one of them off without spooking any of them.
